So this is like the weeb verison of dwarf fortress adventure mode?
I saw someone say its combat is like final fantasy tactics and I can assure you that person has no clue what tactics games play like.

Unlike DF, which as I understand is fully procgen, Elin has many handcrafted static locations and a few story dungeons and bosses. It doesn't have as much variety as DF, but then again, really not much does.

Elin, much like Elona, has some zany or goofy elements to it. I wouldn't really call it a weeb game necessarily, as it stands on its own merits and even a guy like me who's very much not into that sort of thing has a great time playing it. That said, yeah, it's particularly beloved by that crowd (and for good reason IMO).

I consider Elin to be a relatively traditional, if not purely orthodox rogue like. It's directly descended from ADOM in its mechanics, and thus would choose that as its closest point of comparison among other games.

The question becomes what's more important in your eyes? How a law is written or how a law is applied? I would argue that the application of a law is what is important not exactly how it's written. Because if all the legal system cared about was how a law is written then every US citizen would currently be in jail and I imagine this is the case in most developed countries. So technically I am wrong. However practically I am not.

DMCA applies to the distributor of the copyrighted material. Not the consumer of said copyrighted material. It's why I can within all legal rights pirate as much content as I want and not be held accountable for damages. However the person distributing the content to me can.

Why do you think you're allowed to watch copyrighted material on YT and get away scott free? Companies have tried to strongman and sue individuals over stuff like this, it never works. Once they fail to strongman people with scare tactics they immediately drop the cases. I wonder why that is hmm.
Wrong again but okay.

I don't particularly care very much if you believe me or not. It's not my problem. You can say "nuh uh" all you want. What I'm saying isn't to convince you but it's for the passerby's who happen to read through this thread. It's not my goal to change your mind, your mind is already set in stone and closed off. Convincing you would be a nice bonus but that's not what I'm after.

This is why I can't respect any anime game, They don't ever take themselves seriously.
